I sleep in fits and starts and was able to get good charts by just charting before I got up in the AM </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1915914 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 19:40:11 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1915914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar to what @MaryM: said-- I would go ahead and temp (just once, though) if you wake after you've had 4 solid hours of sleep and know that you won't get 4 consecutive additional hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1915902 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 19:32:21 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1915902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1913181 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:16:05 +0000 MaryM 1913181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your temperature changes depending on how long and how deep you've slept, so the MOST important thing is to temp at the same time each day. </p> <p>If you do wake up and are going to get out of bed, and you know you won't be going back to sleep for a full 4 hours, that's when I would go ahead and temp when you wake up. But I'd note the time difference so you can account for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1913176 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:10:55 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1913176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: @alohaorchid: thank you ladies! I'm still pretty new to charting, so I got worried that I was going to really mess it up! I don't want to go through all the charting stuff just to find out I did something wrong and it's not actually useful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1912743 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:16:52 +0000 alohaorchid 1912743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't temped in a while but when I did I was just doing it when I was actually awake for the day. On weekdays I get up at 5am, and there's no way I was doing that on days off just to temp! I never found that it screwed with my O pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1912704 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:03:43 +0000 MaryM 1912704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless you're wide awake or get up out of bed, I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-and-kind-of-waking-up#post-1912665 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:53:17 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1912665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the title pretty much says it, but there's a bit of a back story...we've been in a very long process of moving. After staying in hotels, we are now on an air mattress in a pretty much empty apartment until mid November when the truck with our belonging arrives. </p> <p>That being said, it's not comfortable to sleep. I keep half waking up at all hours of the night, opening my eyes, remembering where I am and falling back to sleep. The whole thing takes about 3 seconds, and I don't get up/talk/move around unless it's to roll over to the other side. </p> <p>I've just been taking my temp when I wake up for the day (I've got a "temp alarm" set for every morning). Should I be taking it when I have these little wake ups too? If it was just going to be a few nights I'd mark them as questionable and move on, but it's going to be for at least another 3 weeks, so I don't know what to do!</p> <p>Any advice? </p>
